Guess it's time for some ✨ personal news ✨ I am happy to be joining the wonderful team at @EUROPEUMPrague 🇨🇿🇪🇺 for a two-month Visiting Fellowship, where I will conduct research on the process(es) of illiberalisation of EU enlargement. Prague folks - let's have a coffee! ☕️

🔴📣 ¡ATENCIÓN! En febrero arrancamos el Diploma Online 'Geopolítica de los Conflictos Congelados' en @unicomplutense 🌍 Ucrania, Palestina, Kosovo y más conflictos en la vecindad UE de la mano de quienes mejor conocen el terreno. Info y matrícula 👇🏻📆 ucm.es/icei/diploma-o…

Belgrade today. A rally against the murderous corruption of the regime of Aleksandar Vucic. The collapse of the regime started in May 2023 and it is continuous. 🇷🇸 is awakening and it is its youth now calling the shots

"The EU’s determination for allowing Rama and his clique to go about their business uncontrolled – all for the sake of geopolitics – could see his leadership evolve into a dangerous problem under the right conditions." neweasterneurope.eu/2024/12/17/edi…

"Unlike Vučić and Dodik, Edi Rama does not draw from Hungary's dangerous illiberal influence. Instead, he pragmatically serves the interests of other less worrisome and more acceptable illiberal leaders, like Italy." ✍️🏻 My latest op-ed for @NewEastEurope neweasterneurope.eu/2024/12/17/edi…

🔥 What an intense week in rainy Brussels as part of TEPSA's Enlargement Academy #InvigoratEU. Great opportunity to connect with EU institutions, think tanks, civil society & new peers 🇪🇺😊 Thank you @tepsaeu & @rlequiniou for an exceptional hosting!

The municipality of N. Mitrovica announced on Sat that water tanks would supply the town with drinking water - first drafted in Albanian & only then in Serbian. Certainly a very poor way of providing urgent communication to a community that is overwhelmingly Serbian-speaking.

The situation in the north of Kosovo is already highly tensioned. Kosovo Special Police are present in the northern municipalities & engage in seemingly arbitrary arrests to exert legitimacy over the area. One of the detainees was Kosovo Serb CSO leader Jovana Radosavljević.

Three days after the attack on the Ibar-Lepenac canal in the north of #Kosovo, accusations keep flying across sides. Not much new information has transpired as of yet. A few thoughts on what we do know 🧵

✨🇪🇺 Excited to announce that next week I will be (back) in Brussels to attend @tepsaeu's InvigoratEU Academy under the motto "Making EU enlargement a success" Looking forward to a week-long programme with top-notch speakers and to meeting bright new peers 😊

Massive step forward for Kosovo's presence in South America—where it is barely recognised—after just opening its Embassy in Colombia. presidencia.gov.co/prensa/Paginas…

Today I am bidding farewell to Prague after a lovely month visiting @EUROPEUMPrague as a @VisegradFund Fellow 🇨🇿🇪🇺 Big thanks to the entire team for their kindness and support. Stay tuned for updates! 👋🏻

Da, polila sam ovde crvenom tečnošću i Milenka i Bečića i Đuku kada je počeo da pesniči moje kolege jer su samo lepili nalepnice i držali transparente da su im ruke crvene od krvi! Bečić mi je onda hrabro zavrnuo ruku i oborio na pod, da ih pohvali tata Šešelj i gazda Aleksandar

This week's irony is that Orbán, the champion of European disintegration, has just helped break the years-long stalemate around Romania's and Bulgaria's entry into the Schengen area. No doubts that Bucharest and Sofia will need to pay back the favour. euronews.com/my-europe/2024…

Giving this thing a try while slowly transitioning out of here. See you on the other side! 🦋 bsky.app/profile/aestes…
